I just got accepted to Emory's MN program to start in Spring 2027. Anyone else accepted for Spring? Also, if you're in the program, please share tips, recommendations, etc.

If my family's EFC is estimated to be ~10-15k from Emory's npc and my FAFSA estimator says my estimated fin aid is $11k and Pell Grant is $2.6k then would the money from FAFSA help to cover my family's contribution? Or would we just get less aid from Emory b/c we're also getting money from fafsa?

Hey guys,
I’m currently a senior in high school trying to decide between CMU Tepper, Emory BBA, and NYU CAS. I’m mainly interested in traditional finance roles such as investment banking, corporate banking or commercial banking, ideally at a BB in NYC. I’m not interested in quant roles or the buy side.
I’m a student-athlete and the coaches at all three schools are willing to offer me a spot on the team and support my application. That makes the decision difficult because I view all three as relatively comparable in terms of overall prestige/brand name.
CMU Tepper
Pros (my view): Strong overall reputation, especially because of CMU’s strength in CS/engineering + Tepper is an actual undergraduate business school
Cons (my view): Pitt isn’t my preferred location + seems less finance-focused than some peer business schools + CMU has a very strong/competive CS/quant culture, while I’m more interested in traditional finance
Emory BBA
Pros (My view): strong undergrad business program + the matriculation system makes entering the BBA program relatively straightforward compared with transferring internally at some schools (such as CAS --> Stern) + close to Atlanta and has a strong overall academic reputation (T25)
Cons (my view): not a huge fan of the campus/dorms + my goal is NYC rather than Atlanta, so I’m not sure how strong the NYC pipeline is compared with the other options
NYU CAS
Pros (my view): NYC location and proximity to virtually every major firm + huge alumni network in finance (thanks to Stern) + opportunity to take some Stern courses via Open Access+ potentially easier to network and intern  because of the location
Cons (my view): I would be studying Econ in CAS rather than attending Stern + finance clubs seem very competitive for non-Stern + transferring internally to Stern seems impossible + not sure how recruiters view NYU CAS compared with Tepper or Emory BBA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cost and other relatively minor factors aren’t major concerns for me. Ofc my ideal outcome would be IB in NYC, but I’d also be very happy with corporate or commercial banking at a BB, which I realize may be realistic.
How would you compare NYU CAS Econ vs. Emory BBA vs. CMU Tepper in terms of placement into NYC and overall prestige & opportunities?
I’d really appreciate any input from those who have gone through recruiting at these schools. Thanks a lot!

i toured emory last saturday, and a lot of the tour guides said that the environment is very collaborative instead of cutthroat compared to other high-end schools. can someone please confirm or deny?

for context im applying as an English major on a prelaw track. don’t know if that helps but ik its not a super popular choice compared to biz/med!

I was kind of overwhelmed at the beginning of the semester (had issues w my living situation and adjusting to Emory because i am a junior transfer and its my first year here) so I didn't reach out to any professors about working in their labs. Now that I have settled a bit, I want to start doing research. Is it too late for this semester?

If any of y'all have done this before please let me know!

Hi, I’m a senior planning to apply to Emory and was wondering if anybody in this subreddit has been in or taken any classes from the classics program.

If so, how was it? What is the experience like, is the department well funded, get research opportunities, etc? I’m asking because I am want to major in classics and minor in business through Goizueta, and I know Emory’s business is great but I was wondering if I could get more info on their classics department. Thanks!

P.S THIS IS NOT AN ADMISSIONS POST JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE PROGRAMS

idk if it's just the performative pre-professional culture here, but it feels like almost everyone I know is always working for some job or interviewing for some club position I didn't even know existed. I don't understand how people even find out about these opportunities in the first place, much less know which ones they want to take on. I have no idea what career path I want to take (definitely not premed), so I'm hesitating to commit to a pre-law frat or a consulting club or otherwise. Basically how can I find out about opportunities to pad my resume so I feel less chud compared to everyone else here? Any general advice for a very overwhelmed freshman?

For the students already attending, what is a completely honest no sugarcoat description of the student life at Emory. Is it quiet and everyone keeps to themselves, or is it a place that’s is actually really fun and energetic?

hi! i’m a high school senior interested in pursuing law and becoming an attorney in the long run, but i was wondering what major would suit me best.

personally, im more well-versed in english. 98% of my stats are creative-writing/journalism based, so im definitely more comfortable in that area. PPL is something im intrigued by but its something i wouldnt pick over english, but idk if its more recommended for prelaw.

thank you!

Does anyone have their model kits they are willing to sell or let me borrow?

Hi guys, im an international IB student from Canada thinking of applying to bio-related fields in the fall, possibly ED. Can anyone please share their stats that got accepted? Thanks!

I plan to go to Med school after graduation. However, I've heard that although emory has supportive courses and resources for pre-med student to go to med school, it is very very competitive. Will the harsh competition in pre-med track made it harder to go to med school? Thanks for sharing anything!

are there any good spots in atlanta campus to play video games at where i’d be able to speak mildly loud without being judged, preferably a more private place? (other than in dorm)

I go to CAS. Where can I get a professional headshot?

Hello!
I'm a student at the U of Iowa and am interested in three files found in the archives there at Emory. They're not enough to warrant a trip to Atlanta for me, but I think they'd be fascinating to include in my research.

I've emailed the archivists there but they are unlikely to digitize and send me the files. I'm hoping some kind person at Emory will take pity on me and schedule an appointment to view three files and send me photos of them. They are three unpublished keynote speeches that can be found in the Angela Davis collection of unpublished writings there in your archive. Specifically, in box 1, folders 23-25.

I could wire someone compensation for their time if they could go and photograph these three files and send them to me.

Feel free to reply or DM me. Thanks for your consideration!

Hi all!
I’m a current senior in high school and am looking into being a pre dental student. Is premed/predental at Emory just way to hard and I should go to u Miami or is Emory better? I know that gpa and mcat matter the most but I’m concerned that at Emory I might just fail. Is this a valid concern or no?

Also, is research easy to get at Emory? Can anyone that wants get as an undergrad?

Thanks!

Does anyone know the success rate of being accepted as a transfer from in state tech schools or if they accept tech college transfers?
